«Guaranteed income did more than just pay my bills. It restored my sense of control. It gave me the power to imagine a future again and then start building it.»

Is it possible to print money and have inflation go down?

Yes, but it isn't guaranteed. It depends on how it's done and what happens in the economy.

#BasicIncome at a government level could work, and it could also go horribly wrong.

@groupincome lets you try #basicincome today, safely.

But let me tell you something: the way #BasicIncome has been marketed to people is as a check in the mail from the government.

This method comes with the following pitfalls:

1. Conditions. The government will likely make your #basicincome conditional on what you post on social media. Offend the powers that be? No basic income for you.

2. Fraud. As mentioned in our series here, only
@groupincome gives a strong guarantee that there will be no fraud: https://groupincome.org/2025/06/no-eyeballs-needed/

3. Surveillance. To combat fraud in a large system they will decide to make stronger ID requirements and then they'll tie this government ID to more services. Think you'll like where that goes?

4. Inflation. Constant money printing with no corresponding increase in value in the economy will lead to even greater inflation.

@groupincome addresses all of these problems in a privacy-preserving way.
